Linux insider has an article about the supposed difference in use of language between Mac users and Windows users.

While I don't want to go into this debate here are the instructions on getting the program style to install on a Mac.
Get the download from GNU.org. You'll get an additional program called diction as well.

Open a new Terminal window and cd to the newly created directory. The easiest way to do this is type cd and a space, and then drag the folder icon onto the window.

Type ./configure --host=ppc --build=ppc. The configure command will spit back a lot of info which you can ignore. The tricky part is in the --host and --build options, without them the programs will not install.
Following that you can type make. The make command will run and spit back info at you. Ignore any warnings you might see.
Type sudo make install, and enter your password when asked.

The program should now be installed. To check do the following. Type /usr/local/bin/style enter a space and then drag a document onto the window, confirm with the enter key.
The command style will now analyze your text.
